My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 212 - 119: Catching Them All_3

The two chatted idly along the way, switching carriages several times, each carriage only taking them part of the journey.

Under such circumstances, not to mention remembering the route, Li Nuo didn’t even know if he was still within Chang’an City.

After an unknown period, the carriage stopped again.

With their eyes covered, the two descended from the carriage and were guided to walk a certain distance, stepping over several thresholds and walking through two long corridors.

Behind them, the sound of doors closing rang out, and the black cloth covering Li Nuo’s head was removed; he finally regained his sight.

It was a spacious room, inside which more than a dozen figures were already waiting.

Upon seeing someone enter, a few whispered conversations emerged in the quiet room.

"It’s Chief Wu."

"That one by his side, that must be the newly promoted Chief Song, indeed he looks young."

"So young yet so capable, his future is boundless..."

...

Li Nuo counted, there were fourteen people in the room, seated around four tables.

Three of the tables were fully occupied, and only two people sat at another table.

At the front, there was an empty table with two chairs.

Chief Wu, leading Li Nuo, approached the table where only two were seated.

"I went to pick up Chief Song just now; apologies for the delay," Chief Wu explained to the two men, then turning to Li Nuo, he introduced,

"This is Chief Han."

"This is Chief Feng."

One guardian managed four chiefs; all four of them worked directly under Guardian Zhang and were colleagues in the same department.

The two chiefs were middle-aged, one looking refined and the other dressed like a farmer. After Li Nuo took his seat, the two men smiled at him and bowed.

"Nice to meet you, Chief Song."

"Please look after us in the future."

Li Nuo returned the gesture with a clasped fist and continued to wait with the men.

After a while, the door opened again, and a figure dressed in black with a covered face entered the room and sat at the foremost empty table.

Chief Wu whispered, "This is a Guardian."

Soon, three more guardians arrived, one of them being the black-robed elder Li Nuo had met before.

At this point, all four guardians and sixteen chiefs of the Thief Sect were present.

Li Nuo felt a surge of excitement.

All the hardships of so many days had finally paid off.

Creak!

At some point, the door opened again.

Two figures, one clad in black and the other in white, stepped inside.

Immediately, everyone in the room rose to their feet and bowed to the two figures.

Li Nuo took a closer look; the two envoys of the Thief Sect, one male and one female, were both elderly.

Neither wore a mask; they slowly walked into the room and sat in the two foremost chairs.

After sitting down, the old woman asked, "Is the new Chief selected?"

The black-robed elder stood up and replied, "Yes, envoy. Chief Song has been selected; please come forward and meet the envoy."

Li Nuo stood and walked forward, bowing slightly, "Greetings, envoy."

The old woman looked at him, her eyebrows arching suddenly as she asked, "Are you married?"

Li Nuo nodded, responding, "Yes, envoy, I am married."

"How long have you been married?" she inquired.

"It’s been over a year," Li Nuo answered.

Her gaze flickered, suddenly asking, "Since you’ve been married for over a year, why has your ’original yang’ not diminished, and you still remain a virgin?"

Li Nuo was startled.

How could she even discern that?

Her words left the guardians and chiefs puzzled.

Why would the envoy mention such things?

But indeed, it was strange.

How could Chief Song still be a virgin despite having a wife and being married so long? Did he have some hidden ailment?

Chief Wu’s expression was one of shock; Chief Song and his wife had a great relationship, he had sent people to eavesdrop, and their bed rocked violently every night; how could he possibly still be a virgin?

The elder sitting next to the old woman flipped his sleeve, and a crossbow arrow aimed at Li Nuo’s brow as he coldly asked, "Who are you really, and what is your purpose in infiltrating the Thief Sect?"

Li Nuo had never expected, after convincingly acting alongside Li Anning and deceiving countless watchers, to be exposed over this matter.

At this point, there was no need to pretend anymore.

He smiled and said, "What do you think, Honored Envoy?"

Clearly harboring ill intentions, the elder’s face hardened, and he pulled the trigger.

Whoosh!

A small arrow shot towards Li Nuo’s brow.

But the arrow stopped a foot from Li Nuo’s forehead and hovered in mid-air.

He reached out and grasped the small arrow, saying, "We were speaking nicely, why shoot an arrow? Now exile turns into a death sentence..."

The elder’s pupils dilated, and he trembled, "Legalism, you are one of Legalism’s men!"

Realizing something was amiss, the crowd, including Chief Wu, changed expressions; Chief Wu immediately said, "This is not a place to linger, let’s go!"

As his words fell, whether guardians or chiefs, all hurriedly ran towards the door.

At this time, questioning Chief Song’s identity was futile.

The Thief Sect’s higher-ups were all here; if something went wrong, the entire Thief Sect would be in jeopardy.

However, they had only reached the door when they slowly retreated back into the room.

The courtyard outside was already full of figures.

Chief Wu, seeing the woman who had just poured him tea at the forefront, wore an expression of disbelief.

In an instant, he found himself rooted to the spot, unable to move.

Not just him, everyone from the Thief Sect present was restrained by an invisible force.
